Veterans Aid and Attendance in the Mid-Ohio Valley

Learn more about our partnership with American Veterans Care Connection and our veterans aid and attendance.

America’s veterans have sacrificed much to preserve our way of life. At Comfort Keepers of the Mid-Ohio Valley, we are honored to serve our veterans throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley on both sides of the Ohio River. American veterans and their surviving spouses may be eligible for a monthly benefit to pay for home care services through the Veteran’s Administration (VA) Aid & Attendance program. Through a partnership with the American Veterans Care Connection (AVCC), Comfort Keepers is able to pre-qualify veterans for benefit eligibility and streamline the process to application for these benefits that can result in Comfort Keepers in-home services provided to you at no out-of-pocket cost.

Both of our owners, David K Yeomans and Joanie K Yeomans, come from families of veterans who have sacrificed for our country from the American Revolution through World War II and the Korean Conflict. We appreciate the sacrifices all veterans made and make for our country and want to encourage all veterans to take full advantage of the benefits that are due them.

At Comfort Keepers, it is our sincere honor to serve these men and women that gave us so much. By keeping them safe and happy in the comfort of their own homes, Comfort Keepers can help to show our appreciation to these veterans by providing the highest quality in-home care possible.

Are You or Your Veteran Qualified for Aid & Attendance Benefits?

Because applying for benefits with the VA can be complicated and overwhelming, many veterans simply go without benefits that they are eligible for.

We appreciate what our veterans have done for us and want to treat them with dignity and respect and help them to receive any benefits that they have earned through their time of service.

Comfort Keepers of the Mid-Ohio Valley has partnered with the American Veterans Care Connection (AVCC), a specialist of veterans benefits, to fast-track the application process by pre-qualifying veterans and assisting them through the required documentation submitals. If eligible, Comfort Keepers can provide veterans and surviving spouses with compassionate care using the funding of the aid and attendance benefit.
